DOCx | PHP library designed to manipulate the content of .docx

Hello :) I´m a complete beginner when it comes to COM objects, any help is appreciated!

I´m working on a Python program supposed to read incoming MS-Word documents in a client/server fashion, i.e. the client sends a request (one or multiple MS-Word documents) and the server reads specific content from those requests using pythoncom and win32com.

Because I want to minimize waiting time for the client (client needs a status message from server, I do not want to open an MS-Word instance for every request. Hence, I intend to have a pool of running MS-Word instances from which the server can pick and choose. This, in turn, means I have to reuse those instances from the pool in different threads and this is what causes trouble right now. After I read Using win32com with multithreading, my dummy code for the server looks like this:

My need in short: I want to refresh references to text marks in a docx document with Apache POI 5.

Context: In a docx document, my system replaces text in placeholders (e.g. "${myplaceholder}"). Some of these placeholders are within text marks. This works fine.

In the document there are references to the text marks. After replacing placeholders (within the text mark), I open the docx document, select everything with Ctrl+A and hit F9. Then all references are updated and contain the text from the referenced text marks / placeholders.

Problem/Quest: I do not want (the system users) to hit Ctrl+A / F9 to update the references.

Question: Is there a way either (a) to force Microsoft Word to refresh all references (like this is feasible for xlsx files with Apache POI) or (b) to refresh all references in Apache POI 5?

Update + simple code example:

This is the content of the input docx document (where the second "${firstname}" is a reference to the first "${firstname}" (marked in MS Word as a text mark)):

This is some code that adds some text to the "firstname" placeholder:

I'm generating a Word document by replacing some placeholder text in the template document with my values. For this, I'm using GemBox.Document, more specifically, this code from Find and Replace example:

I'm trying to parse docx file that contains content control fields (that are added using window like this, reference image, mine is on another language)

I'm using library APACHE POI. I found this question on how to do it. I used the same code:

I have a Codesandbox

I have this app that displays different files like jpg, mp4 or now docx files. I can't make docx file position so it look good but jpg or mp4 is working OK.

Try it just open a doxc file.

In file FileContentRenderer.jsx here below I use switch case and n open Component needed like docx-viewer.jsx

I'm using python-docx to create a document with a table I want to populate from textual data. My text looks like this:

I'm using docker-compose to launch a commandbox lucee container and a mysql contianer.

I'd like to change the web root of the lucee server, to keep all my non-public files hidden (server.json etc, cfmigrations resources folder)

I've followed the docs and updated my server.json https://commandbox.ortusbooks.com/embedded-server/server.json/packaging-your-server

I have retrieved json log data from a rest API as follows

I found the function below here. It works great, but I would like to dynamically name the output file 'analysis.docx', using the title of the document, the author and the current date.
